Estimating how long your Kia Sportage tires will last is not easy. Kicking Tires estimates a tire can last between 20,000 and 50,000 miles on average. The lifespan of your Kia Sportage tires is dependent on how you drive and whether you are driving on summer, all-season, or winter tires. Driving on under-inflated tires and with your Sportage out of alignment will shorten your tires’ lifespan as well. There is no set interval for when you will need new tires, but here is a list of Kia Sportage tires for when the time comes.
Sizes for Kia Sportage Tires
Kia Sportage tires vary between trim levels. Kia advises adhering to the Sportage’s original tire size. “Kia does not recommend modifying or altering your Kia vehicle’s specifications including tire size in any manner. As with any modification, if a failure occurs on the vehicle that can be attributed to the modification, the warranty of any affected components may be voided,” according to Kia.

All-Season Tires
The Michelin Premier A/S tire is made with a high-traction compound that improves grip on wet roads. This tire fits the LX model.
Winter Tires
Although all-season tires can handle wet conditions, winter tires have better traction and handling on snowy roads. Winter tires are also made to perform better at temperatures below 45 degrees.
The Yokohama W.drive tire has an asymmetric tread design that enhances cornering ability and the grooved area improves snow traction. This tire only fits the EX and SX models
